Set Up Port Forwarding
You can use Port Forwarding to set up a computer or other network device on your home
network (LAN) to be accessible to computers or other remote network devices on the Internet.
This allows you to open specific ports behind the firewall on your LAN to set up dedicated
connections between your computer and other remote computers for online gaming or other
online services. Some allowable services are predefined under the Commonly Forwarded Ports.
See Figure 45 for a list of commonly used port numbers.
Note
: ARRIS recommends that you manually configure the TCP/IP settings listed below on the
computer you are setting up for remote access. Otherwise, remote access to your computer will not be
available on the Internet.

enter the same port number in the start and end locations for that IP address.
